Lewis v. Newburgh Housing Authority
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK REGINA LEWIS, Plaintiff, 1:24-CV-7452 (LTS) -against- ORDER OF DISMISSAL NEWBURGH HOUSING AUTHORITY, et al., UNDER
28 U.S.C. § 1651Defendants. LAURA TAYLOR SWAIN, Chief United States District Judge: By order dated November 16, 2021, the Court barred Plaintiff from filing any future civil action in forma pauperis (“IFP”) in this court without first obtaining from the court leave to file. Lewis v. O’Hagan Wolfe, ECF 1:21-CV-6949, 7 (S.D.N.Y. Nov. 16, 2021). Plaintiff files this new pro se civil action in this court, and has neither paid the fees to bring this action nor filed an IFP application. Thus, because Plaintiff has not paid the fees to bring this action, the Court understands that Plaintiff is requesting to proceed IFP in this action. Plaintiff has not, however, sought leave from the court to file this action. The Court therefore dismisses this action without prejudice for Plaintiff’s failure to comply with the Court’s November 16, 2021 order in Lewis, 1:21-CV-6949. The Court certifies, pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3), that any appeal from this order would not be taken in good faith and, therefore, IFP status is denied for the purpose of an appeal. See Coppedge v. United States,
369 U.S. 438, 444-45(1962). The Court directs the Clerk of Court to enter a judgment dismissing this action for the reason set forth in this order. SO ORDERED. Dated: October 9, 2024 New York, New York
